In the late Northern Song Dynasty, under the city of Bianjing, a palace coup overturned the life of loyal minister Zhao Ming. After being falsely accused of betrayal, this once-famous minister was forced to remain anonymous and become an ordinary citizen, seeking a path to innocence in the streets of Bianjing. During this process, Zhao Ming met Li Hui, a female doctor who not only had superb medical skills, but also held avant-garde medical concepts, which was extremely rare at the time. The encounter between the two not only inspired the fire of justice and resistance in each other's hearts, but also gradually revealed a larger conspiracy.

In this turbulent era, the fates of Zhao Ming, Li Hui and Wang Xiang are intertwined. Not only do they have to face personal emotions and moral choices, they are also involved in the battle for the country's survival.
This is a story about loyalty and betrayal, innovation and conservatism, patriotism and personal honor. In this magnificent history, everyone is fighting for their own beliefs and ideals, and their stories are intertwined to form a thrilling historical picture.
